thanks for the comment. when I made the video I didn’t know if this was my
problem or not. I eventually got it running perfect with this distributor
so even though it may be worn with a lot of play, it did not reduce
performance… if I was pulling the motor and doing a full rebuild I would
definately being looking at replacing the distributor with 200,000 kms+
i found a corroded connection to the ignition trigger module. Once I took
it apart and cleaned it and put the whole truck back together it ran better
than it had ever run… probably because I had replaced so many other parts
first (coil, plugs, wires, injector and spider hose). I am wondering if you
have a stuck open EGR valve (common prob for these) which is messing up
your vacuum and impacting how the tranny shifts. I can’t remember if vacuum
impacts these trannys or not.
Ya man the roder shod not have that much play in it so if I was you I wood
invest in a new distributed
where was this wire located, i am having a similar issue on my 4.3
nah man thats perfectly fine. all of them do that. even brand new ones.
so what was the problem of it not starting ?i have an issue with mine where
at first it would sputter when i gave it gas and alittle backfire and now
it wont get out of 2nd gear any ideas?
That’s normal; part of your spark advance.
